Happy Day After Christmas – Our Family Video for 2012

Video features “Happy Day After Christmas” by Matthew West from his Heart Of Christmas album.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by family and friends (and some good food, too!). This video contains some photos of my Christmas dinner as well as video and photos of our family throughout the year. The song is so fitting, too. I hope you’ll enjoy the message and video as much as we do.

I’m looking forward to another year with my wonderful Southern Plate family! The next few months I’ll be finishing up my second book, which will be released in 2013. As I focus on that, I’ll still be posting on SouthernPlate.com and sending out emails, but for the most Southern Plate be sure you join us on Facebook, where I like to hang out in between writing and cooking 🙂

Have a wonderful day and a Merry Rest Of The YEAR!

Gratefully,

Christy

Thank you Christy and family! That was such a heartwarming video and song and it made my after Christmas let down much better, even though I am still playing my Christmas music!!! Love and Best of everything to you and your family for the new year xo

Christy, I just had to stop by and tell you after months of heavy hints, I got your cookbook for Christmas. I have already read it from cover to cover and made my shopping list and menus for the next two weeks. It is fabulous, and everything I expected. You are such a breath of fresh air and the love for your family is so apparent. A good ole Southern Girl. Thanks, Wendy

Hey y’all, I don’t speak for Christy J or the site, but I wanted to tell those who asked that the song is called “Day After Christmas” by Matthew West. I believe his CD was among the giveaway holiday gifts on here. Hope that helps! Happy New Year to everyone.

Thank you so much for helping out Thala!!! I put Matthew West’s name at the end of the video but just now went back and added in more song information to the post as well. I appreciate your help!
Gratefully,
Christy

I used iMovie on my mac computer. It was my first time using it so there is a LOT I could improve but I felt like I got the overall message and feel right so I just let it ride. It really is an easy program to use once you get into it and just start messing around to see how it works. Thank you for watching it!
Gratefully,
Christy

I feel like such a slacker seeing all your photos. We don’t take many photos, but I plan on getting on that bandwagon. I like how you used video too. You did good for it being your first time! BTW, I made your vanilla wafer cake for Christmas and it was soooo gooood!! Everyone loved it!

What a wonderful video/photo log of your family. I absolutely loved the music and it was so fitting for your presentation.
Great job Christy !!!
Wish I had half your talent !
Have a wonderful and blessed 2012.

Wow! Awesome job and how much fun to look back over the year at memories you made as a family. The song was perfect and the message so good! It IS so important to remember that the “light of the world” is the REAL gift at Christmas….not all of the material things we all give and receive. Thanks for sharing and for blessing so many people each and every day! God is using you in mighty ways! I saw your cute daughter at school the other day and again at the precious program our kiddos put on a few weeks ago. Hope to meet you one day! May your 2012 be filled with many blessings!

I really enjoyed your video after Christmas. I would like to say that I did get one of my Christmas wishes, your cookbook. My son bought it for me, surprised that it came from my son, considering i thought my daughter would buy it for me.
So it makes it more special because he took time out to purchase or and he told me that is one receipe (drink recipe with apple juice) he wants to try. Of course he did say he might add a little something to it.:):)

Hey Christy. Loved the song and the video. It is a couple days after Christmas for me and after loosing my mom this year I am still feeling the tears swelling in my eyes. Thanks for the encouragement. I love your site and recipes. Blessings abundantly to your family. Rita

Well ya did it again Christy!! Tears filled my eyes, you are such a blessing! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with all of us. Wishing you the Best of the Best in the coming year, I can’t wait till the new book comes out!!!

Loved your video, pictures, song etc. I was able to spend Christmas Day with my son, his children and grandchildren. 4 generations! Can you imagine??? I was certainly blessed. Growing old is not all bad. Was asked to play the prelude at my son’s church on Christmas Day. I was really blessed. Hope you have a wonderful new year and will be looking forward to your blogs.
